The Secret Life of Parkinson's is a podcast created by Parkinson's patients, sharing their stories and interviewing others, on things we deal with on a daily basis. It's hard for people with PD to talk to others about the disease because sometimes it's difficult for the patient themselves to describe what they are feeling. Talking to other PD patients helps us express what we are going through in ... more

  • Wonderful podcast

    I am a man of 51 years of age and I have PD. This podcast is a refreshing way of looking and living life with PD. I am very thankful for the two of them for everything they share.

  • Insightful and enjoyable Parkinson’s conversations with fellow PD travelers.

    I am both a physician and a person with Parkinson’s. I listen to about a half dozen different Parkinson’s podcasts on a regular basis. I always look forward to tapping into Jessica and Brian, like they’re at my dining room table and we’re all allowed to ask the questions we really want to ask. Their delivery is unstrained, and feels like it is spoken with a smile.

    Thank you to the team at The Secret Life of Parkinson’s

  • Annoying
